Who Is Ancira Nissan?

Known for delivering premium customer service and managing one of the busiest service departments in San Antonio, Ancira Nissan consistently processes 800–900 repair orders per month while maintaining high CSI scores and strong retention rates

If I didn’t have Kenect, I’d need 8 to 10 more people to handle the volume. It’s the best bang for your buck.

— Travis Timon, Service Director

Challenge

With such a high volume of customers, Ancira Nissan’s service team faced increasing pressure to:

  • Follow up effectively with thousands of customers without adding costly headcount.
  • Maintain top-tier CSI scores and capture feedback before OEM surveys went out.
  • Reach customers who don’t answer calls, don’t check emails, and often discard direct mail.
  • Stay on top of declined services, open recalls, and long-overdue service opportunities.
  • Empower a small but experienced team to maintain personalized, high-quality communication at scale

Solution

Ancira Nissan implemented Kenect Service AI, an AI-powered communication platform that enabled the team to:

  • Automatically follow up with customers just days after service, asking for feedback and gauging satisfaction before OEM surveys were sent.
  • Re-engage customers who declined service or had open recalls, sending direct scheduling links by text message.
  • Text service updates, pricing estimates, and appointment confirmations—cutting the need for cold calls or voicemails.
  • Track conversations across the team so service managers could quickly jump in when needed.
  • Customize messaging and triggers to match the dealership’s voice and operational priorities
